Talk:Ton (volume)

I redirected this to the article "ton". There is already an article "tonnage" where "ton (volume)" can be discussed at length. Also, in the "ton" article, there was an attempt to describe tonnage in terms of the density of fresh water at 4 degrees Celsius. This is false logic. Tonnage is a complex and variously defined thing. Displacement of a ship can only be measured exactly for that ship by knowing about the ship: i.e. the geometry of the ship beneath the water line or the mass of the ship including its contents.Anthony717 22:39, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
